"Emergency Visit to a&e"

My husband was admitted by ambulance at approx. 0.35 on Friday 5th September and we have nothing but praise for every member of staff we came into contact with as well as the first responder and the paramedics. Our first thoughts were that his drooping mouth and eye were symptoms of a stroke but we were reassured when Bell's Palsy turned out to be the cause. We had complete confidence in everyone we spoke to and went home at 4.40 feeling much relieved. Thank you to everyone on duty that night.
